How I am doing

Should I do a weekly meal prep?  I do complain too much.  It would help if I would be more thankful more often.  The truth is, I definitely am.

A change in plans

Maybe I should also create schedules concerning what I consume.  I have grown tired of always making diet and exercise plans.  They are easy to follow.  However, it can be tiresome.  In fact, losing weight is hard and can wear a person out.  I admittedly consume a poor diet and I am sedentary.  This is what adds to the issue of stress.  At least I can identify the problems I am going through.  I wonder if my weight or thinking constantly about my weight is an anxiety problem or another set of problems.  Sometimes, losing weight is all I think about.  I think that starting tomorrow, an actual schedule may actually be a good idea.

I need help.

Right now, I wish to take a break from making plans.  For the moment, I am just too tired.  I am on a personal journey of sorts.  I have wanted to start losing weight for sometime now.  I finally realize that I have muscle weakness and that could be a result of back pain due to having excess weight.  My weight is of great concern to me and I have no clue where to begin.

I want to give up

It is something that I am tempted to do.  I just want to quit this blog.  I want to stop.  I hate it.  I hate it.  I know that plans are essential to weight loss, but the consensus is, I don't want to lose weight, yet I have to.  It is all I can think about.  I believe that I take things for granted and so personal.  I will make no plans today.  I am just too sad, overwhelmed, and just too plain tired.  My brain doesn't hurt, but I am just having a moment.  I need to do it, but don't want to do it.  I wonder if anyone else feels that way.

My confession

I have a confession to make.  I have been overwhelmed.  Being overwhelmed has caused a lot of stress, which is even worse for your health.  Thinking and re-thinking a plan may cause some stress but I have to realize that not doing what I want and need to do.  I do buy a lot of food for two people for a month and that is a waste of money.  Planning out meals and exercise regimens, daily, weekly, or monthly, gauges us into how much progress I would make.  That has been the plan all along.
